When the astral body leaves the physical and etheric body, unconsciousness occurs, but not because the physical senses are missing, but because there are larger and completely different worlds around him and because [man] has not yet developed his astral organs. They are very different from the sensory organs. They are called lotus flowers or wheels because of their shape. They are movements of light that flash. If we draw these movements of light in the main lines, especially the fast-moving two-petaled one, the result is the so-called swastika. We know the meaning of this drawing just as little as we know what an eye is when we only see its drawing. One cannot recognize the meaning of that sign by contemplation, but only through the knowledge of secret scientific facts.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.
